Why I am not a vegan

[Parsons]

especially if there is no work to control.

The animals are being controlled and killed against their will. Controlling another entity is an STS trait.

Only if the alternative wasn't feeding on another type of 2nd density life; which segues perfectly into what Tanner is trying to express:

It's convoluted because it's black and white, this whole "one or the other" is what makes it so convoluted.

Well, 'convoluted' means complicated/twisted/confusing/intricate/nuanced, whereas 'black and white' means simple/straightforward/lacking nuance. They have opposite meanings.

I've written enough on this topic here on B4 to make a book! You really think my views are black and white?

Yes, your views are black and white (overly simplistic) because your arguement conditionally ignores my above viewpoint that you must eat some form 2nd density life to survive. I say conditionally because you say 'yes, I understand I am eating life which has consciousness' but turn around and favor in your argument one form of 2D life over another, which is convoluted. So yes, you being black and white is convoluted in this context.

Moreover, your justification for being a bigot (noun: a person who is intolerant toward those holding different opinions) is by definition controlling because as Plenum said, diet is a personal matter, which you are butting in to.

PS: If you try to repeat 'it is my business because you are controlling an animal by eating it', you will be ignoring my first point again which would lack any logic. I could turn that argument on you by saying that you are controlling vegetables by eating them.
